Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of doing a L92 swap onto my 07 trailblazer SS. Heads are currently getting a CNC job. I came across a deal that I couldn't pass on for a brand new 5th gen TVS 2300 Maggie.
My question is as far as the front accessories. Do I have to switch over to the Camaro accessories or is it possible to keep the L92/trailblazer accessories. From what I've researched the balancer is the same for L92 and Camaro.
Here's a teaser pic of the supercharger.

The retrofit should be similar to the Whipple 2.9L that guys are putting on their trucks. The Maggie belt tensioner/idler bracket may interfere with the water pump neck which means you will need a Camaro water pump. Also, your alternator probably won't clear the throttle body which is clocked 180 degrees. You can either switch to a Camaro alternator & power steering pump setup or modify your existing bracket to move the alternator more towards the driver's side.

Got the long block pretty much finished up. I snapped some pics. Hopefully you guys like.




Did some mocking up to motivate myself. Also to see if I wanted to keep the polished blower or go with a black powdercoated one. What do you guys think?

Thanks yea I'm going to just keep it as is. Especially since my TBSS is white, and can't complain about the price I got it for.
